Process for the preparation of ethylene-propylene random copolymers

摘要

Random copolymers of ethylene and propylene are prepared by a process comprising contacting under bulk or vapor phase polymerization conditions components comprising (a) a catalyst capable of producing substantially crystalline polypropylene; and (b) ethylene and propylene in an essentially constant ratio of about 0.1 to 1.0 mole percent ethylene to about 99.9 to 99.0 mole percent propylene. The random copolymers produced by this process have high clarity and distribution numbers greater than 90.
